“But of the heaven which is above the heavens, what earthly poet ever did or ever will sing worthily?”

“The madness of love is the greatest of heaven's blessings.”

“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”

“You're my star, a stargazer too,and I wish that I were heaven,with a billion eyes to look at you.”

“Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.”

“Star of my life, to the stars your face is turned;Would I were the heavens, looking back at you with ten thousand eyes.”

“No wealth can ever make a bad man at peace with himself”
